Lunacy is right – it’s not as though we are short of energy. And if we were, supporting research into coal replacement would be more to the point than just ripping more irreplaceable stuff from the earth.

I support the current moves for a moratorium – something has to be done and now.

But for the long term – why not change the law so that property-owners have mineral rights and there is no right of entry from a third party for exploration and mining. Might take a bit of doing, but it’s a challenge worth taking up, surely? Gerry and other high-profile people who know Peter (just as one example) could back this idea. I’ve started a campaign idea on GetUp too but without powerful friends, no law change is going to happen.
